Within 48-hours, Tara was driving her Jeep (christened Charlene) around the University of Texas campus. Her fellow students soon turned into paparazzi - Snapchatting and tweeting pictures and videos of 'Barbie Jeep girl' all over social media.

"Most people don't find the things me and my friends do very funny, just immature, so I didn't expect to get this big of a reaction," she said. "People who don't know me are shocked but my friends weren't even surprised because I do stuff like this all the time."

How does it actually work? Well, Charlene works off 12-volt rechargeable batteries, so Tara just needs to charge her up overnight and she's ready to go in the morning and can reach around 5mph.
